he is a practicing physician. The prescription
in question was shown to him, which he iden-
titled as one issued by him on the 18th of April
to John Jameson. He read it and explained
that it called for three pints of corn whisky.
John Jameson, colored, testified that at the
date of the prescription he lived at DIR. T. NJ.
OWNS that DR.. Gwin gave him the prescrip-
ton for three pints of whisky, and that he came
to town and gave it to a white man whom he
did not know, but whom he thought was Mr..
Robinson.
On cross examination he said he gave it to
the man on the same day of its. date. The man
paid him nothing for it, but said he would give
him some of the whisky, which he did not do.
John May testified that he sold a pint of
whisky to Mr.. Robinson on the 23rd Of April.
He said he sold it on the prescription issued by
DR.. T. M. Gwin to John Jameson, and show
ed an entry made by him on the margin to the
effect that one pint had been delivered on the
prescription, and that subsequently he sold
Mr.. Robinson another pint on the same pre-
scription.
In rebuttal, Mr.. Robinson testified that he
did not take the prescription in question to Mr..
MAY that he did not procure a prescription OF
any kind from John Jameson; that he never
before saw the prescription produced on the
trial did not know John Jameson; never
spoke to DR.. Gwin, and that he bought liquor
Of John May, who knows him, on the occasions
mentioned, no prescriptions being furnished
in either case.
After a short argument by each of the coun-
sci, the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, May a.-The dearth of in
teresting news is appalling to your gaZ-
etteer but the weather is not exhausted.
Farmers are not 10th to receive a season
just now, and it appears to be coming.
Thunder growls, clouds move in stateliness
of threatening, and a few drops Of rain
have already fallen.
On last Friday the Presbyterian Sunday.
school had a picnic about a mile south OF
the village. A goodly attendance and q
great deal of youthful enjoyment waited
on the occasion.
Yesterday there was communion service
in the M. E. Church. The meeting was
we'll attended, and interesting.
Hon. w. H. Stewart is pushing forward
his kiln of bricks, which are to be used in
the erection of the factory. The carpen-
tiers are anxiously awaiting their lumber
from below for the tenements.
Your former indulgence emboldens me
I hope our lawmakers will appreciate n
urge. Under the present law of attach
ment, q plaintiff must plead and particu-
larize as nicely as if he were in any other
kind of suit, and had plenty of time to set
forward his claim in figures specific and
unalterable. If there is any service or
benefits at all in a law, providing for attach
ment before trial, it is because it provides
a remedy that prevents fraud. However,
as the law now stands, the remedy is una
vailing. True it is, and pity it is ; but it
is true. Suppose two persons had dealt
mutually with each other for years ; the
account is perhaps in such condition as to
require many days of patient toll In un-
tangling it's mysteries and ascertainlng
the balance; Mr.. A takes a notion to leave
the State, and makes way with his prop
erty in order to defraud his creditors; Mr..
B finds this fact out just ten hours before
the time set for AS departure: has he un-
der existing circumstances, a remedy =!
| He has not time to cast up his accounts,
make out an itemized statement, prepare
his papers, give bond, secure an officer,
(perhaps at a %distsnce), and get hold of A
and his property. The need OF amend
ment is palpable, the defect glaring. 1t IS
easy to change the law, and obvlate the
difficulty, by providing that plaintiff may
make oath that defendant owes him q sum,
approximating as nearly as practicable the
true amount; give his bond take his writ
and proceed with haste thus leaving the
prolix statement to be made at a proper
time before trial. This is no hardship on
the defendant, because in the first place he
has thrown himself outside the pale OF the
law, and secondly the plaintiff must give
a valid and abundant bond to secure de-
PENDANT against illegal loss.
Thus the law could be beneficial whereas
it is now useless in border counties, and al
most so in others. ANON

generally in New England, New York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia. Frequent
showers occurred in the corn and wheat
regions, where the total rainfall for the
week, although we'll distributed, was
slightly below the normal. Kansas has
been favored by rainfalls in excess Of the
normal, especially in the western portion.
Owing to the favorable distribution of the
rainfall a %seasonable deficiency of 10 inch
es appears as yet in the cotton region.
General remarks: Throughout the entire
agricultural districts the weather has prov
ed especially favorable for growing crops,
and the reports on Sunday morning, May

rainfall and temperature yet continue, ex-
cept in Michigan, Illinois and Southern
Minnesota, where needed showers are
predicted for tomorrow.

YORKVILLE, s. G:NT
WEDNESDAY, JUNE !, 1887.
THE UNITED PRESBYTERIANS.

The twenty-ninth General Assembly Of
the United Presbyterian Church in North
America was opened in Philadelphia on
Wednesday last, clergymen from Maineto
Texas and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
being in attendance. The Assembly is the
governing power over 1856 congregations,
comprising about 100, 600 members.
One of the most important questions be-
fore it is that of union with the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church of the
South, which has been under advisement
by both denominations for some time.
On Thursday the fraternal salutation OF
the Associate Reformed Synod of the
South was communicated by Rev. j. G.
Galloway, of Yorkville, S.. c., who was in
troduced and addressed the Assembly.
On the subject of the union Of the churches
he said:
1.-THE course for him to pursue was one Of the
utmost candor and frankness. The Associate
Reformed Church has rejected the bases OF
union, and the reasons, as he conceived, Tor
doing so were: First, the agitation in the United
Presbyterian Church over the organ question,
and, second, the opposition of q respectable NIL
nority to the 18th article in the testimony IN the
United Presbyterian Church.. The Associate
Reformed Church wishes to wait until the Or
gan question is settled in a peaceful way. A
large portion of the Associate Reformed Church
considers the introduction of an organ as fatal
to congregational singing. The Associate Re-
formed Church. does not wish to restore slave
nv. There is not q man who does not heartily
rejoice that the incubus Of slavery is destroyed
never to return. [Applause]. The opposition
comes from old people-those of ante-beuun.
times. The old live in the past, but after all
their opposition is more that of chivalrous sen.
timent than otherwise. We feel that we ought
to regard the feelings of those old people and
not outrage their convictions and drive them
from our communion. When the year 1900
shall have arrived slavery will be almost a
memory. I was born and raised in South Car
olina. The New South has no leaning toward
slavery. Why cannot we rest as the basis OF
union on the cordial acceptance Of the West
minister confession and catechism as historical
ly interpreted. He trusted the day was not far
distant when the two churches would be organ
ically, what they were now spiritually, one.'
The moderator responded to the greet
ings of Mr.. Galloway, and said:
at would be we'll that there should be no in
discriminate haste relative to instrumental mu-
sic. With regard to the article in the testimo-
ny of the United Presbyterian Church, 1t is the
record of the Church. He trusted that over
the two churches there would be soon one ban
ner, with the words written over 1t, i n init
ed Presbyterian Church of North America
We can go on and do our work until God in his
own good time brings about organic union"

The undersigned, members of your Special
Committee, appointed to examine and report
on the papers and overtures submitted to the
General Assembly on the question of organic
or cooperative union with the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America, are of
the opinion that the difficulties in the way are
so numerous, and of so serious a nature, that
they cannot be removed.
They arise mainly out of the fact that the two
Churches are not agreed in matters of either
principle or policy. The plea thatthe two have
the same Confession of Faith, may be fully
met by the simple statement, that all evangeli-
Bible; but the difference in the one case, as in
the other, arises out of the Interpretation ofthe
teaching of the two books. So the separate eN-
istence of the Southern Church is as much de-
manded, because of the widely different inter-
probation of language of that Confession of
Faith, In matters both of doctrine and govern
ment, as the separate existence OF other de-
nominations of Christians is demanded because
they are not sufficiently agreed in their essen
tial tenets to constitute one organic body.
No suggestion has been made, or, i'll the
opinion of those signing this paper, can be
made, for the removal of this most serious OBJ
stacle which meets us at the very opening OF
the question.
To unite the Churches on any compromise of
these fundamental differences, or upon any
general statement-such as the reception of the
Standards, pure and simple-would serve only
to bring together those who could not act in
harmony, and would cause perpetual STRIFE
and alienation.
These conclusions have been reached by us
after a full and careful examination Of the
whole question in the light of all the papers
submitted for our consideration. The discus
sion of the whole question for some time past,

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-With
close connection at Chester it would be
only about II hours from Yorkville to
this city. The trip was made from Chester
in sixteen hours. How our g~rand-fathers
would have been ast0unded if one had
told them that the day would come when
we would travel from Columbia to Phila-
delphia in "a hours. Yet it is true, and
the end is not. If 1 live Is years longer,
I expect to see men travelling through the
air.
But to come back to our trip. Our
Yorkville party was the life of the affair.
Frank, Ernest and Eddie, and some of the
older ones, too, enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely and entertained the excursion
lists. But we liked to have lost Ernest in
Greensboro. However, he can tell you
about that when he gets back and q GER
tain young lady in our party, about whom
Mai. H. made such a neat pun, made so
many captures on the way that l really
began to fear that 1 would not be able to
keep my charge and deliver her safe and
sound at Manassas.
While we were still five or six miles
from Washington, some n of our party,
looking out of the window, exclaimed:
ooh yonder is the Washington monu-
ment," and sure enough there was the
great ObeliSk OF white marble towering lar
above everything in Washington; even
the capital statue of liberty, on the dome
of the Capitol being far below it, and yet it
is $50 feet high. The monument was erect
ed to commemorate George Washington,
and was only recently finished. It is the
highest structure the hand of man has ever
built, being 555 feet in height, and is, I
presume, the grandest monument on earth.
1t and the Capitol are the great land marks
of Washington.
Of course the great thing which agitates
Washington this week is the Information
al Drill. AS o as Jul train rolled off
of tie long bridge over the Potomac. we
could see on every hand uniformed lnen,
white tents, and gay flags by the thousand
floating over the houses. The week is
given up to festivity and amusement.
There are thousands of visitors here, and
from every state in the Union. 1t is said
that there are so military companies here
in camp-several of them being colored.
The great event of the occasion took place
to-day-the parade and review by the
President.
A grand stand was erected in front of
the White House, and President Cleveland
and Mrs. Cleveland, and Gen. Sheridan
and all, civil and military dignitaries of

THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.

In the Southern Presbyterian Assembly
at St. Louis on the 23d ult., three reports on
Union between the Northern and South
ern Presbyterians were presented by the
committee of Twenty-six. A majority of
l6 recommend a special committee to
confer on the subject with a like commit
tee from the northern church. A minori-
ty of 9 say the differences in the interpre-
tations of the articles of faith make union
i'm possible ; a minority of n says the
united body would be unWieldy and I'M
manageable.
The following are the reports:
MAJORITY REPORT.
The majority of your special committee, to
which were referred all overtures and papers
touching the subject of organic and co-opera-
tive union, and all other relations with the
Presbyterian Church of the United States of
America, respectfully report as follows:
WHEREAS, The Synods of Missouri. Ar
kansas and Alabama, embracing fifteen Pres
byteries, have taken action favoring reunion
of some kind between the two churches and
WHEREAS, Subsequent thereunto eight pres
byteries, to wit: st. Johns, Upper Missouri,
Chesapeake, Missouri, Holston, Indian, East
Alabama, and Dallas, have manifested special
interest in the matter, by overtures or resolu-
tons favoring closer relations between the

teries have come expressions of dissent, and
that chiefly against organic union, there
fore your Committee recommends that a COM
mittee of five ministers and five ruling ell
ders, with the Moderator of this Assembly
added thereto as e~r-otfcio chairman, be APP
pointed by the present Moderator of this AS
sembly, to confer with any like Committee
that the other Assembly may appoint, concern
ing the whole subject of organic union, CO.
operative union, and any other relations be-
tween the two assemblies; and said Commit
tee be directed to report the result ofsuch joint
conference to the General Assembly, at its
meeting in May, 1888, for approval or disap-
prevail and the committee be instructed to
take and maintain the following POSITIONS:
First, the mere acceptance of the common
Standards of our church, its Confession OF
Faith, Shorter and Larger Catechisms, does not
in our minds form a sufficient basis Of union {;
but the acceptance of that peculiar interpreta-
ton ofour Standards, which affirms and empha-
sizes the purely spiritual nature of Christ's
Kingdom, and forbids her legislating upon
political and civil matters, is the only true basis
of union.
Secondly and-further, we insist the colored
brethren in our bounds shall be organized
into separate congregations, presbyteries and
synods.

Since the adoption of a site for the depot sew
eral surveys have been made from the crossing
of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, a mile be-
low town, to the depot grounds east OF the M.
E. Church, but on account of the absence OF
Chief Engineer Matson neither survey has yet
been adopted, and consequently no work has
yet been commenced on this part Of the line.
Mr.. Peter Griffin and his partner in the work,
Mr.. w. E. Gorton, are here ready to begin
when the ground is staked off for them. This
section, FIVE miles, will probably be under the
management of Mr.. Gorton until it is COM
pleted.
Col. Kirby the principal contractor for all
the grading between Yorkville and Camden,
is in town to-day, and reports the work pro-
crossing satisfactorily all along the line.
